About EXTENDED REALI-TREE

- The CSUN Tree Initiative -

XTENDED REALI-TREE is a project that aims to raise awareness about some amazing sustainability initiatives by incorporating augmented reality and immersive videos and photos. One such initiative is CSUN's campus tree inventory, which was first created in 1989 by Robert Gohstand and was later expanded by Helen Cox in 2009. This inventory has been updated each year by CSUN Geography students, who use the opportunity to develop their GIS skills while also contributing to a valuable campus resource. In addition, graduate students have classified over 200 campus tree species as common, threatened, endangered, or invasive. With over 2,000 trees included in the inventory, CSUN's Grounds Department uses it to monitor tree health, maintenance, hazards, and more. To explore the full campus map, please follow the link to Dr. Cox's original tree inventory provided here: https://www.csun.edu/sustainability/tree-mapping.
